CHICKEN STIR-FRY WITH SPICY PEANUT SAUCE
"How do I make chicken interesting?" is a question people often ask me. Here's your answer. I love making a double batch of this sauce and keeping it in the door of the fridge for a day when I need something tasty in a pinch. Don't like spice? Simply omit the hot sauce and the red pepper flakes. You can also sub thinly sliced lean beef for the chicken or just make it a stir-fry with all vegetables...

Steps:
- In a large bowl, whisk the peanut butter with the soy sauce, vinegar, honey, hot sauce, sesame oil, ginger, two-thirds of the garlic and 2 tablespoons warm water until smooth. (If the sauce is too thick, thin with a little more warm water.) Set aside.
- Arrange the pieces of chicken on a baking sheet in a single layer. Sprinkle on one side with salt and the red pepper flakes. Turn the pieces on their other side and sprinkle again with salt.
- Heat a large heavy-bottomed skillet over high heat. Add half of the oil and heat until it begins to smoke. Remove the skillet from the heat and quickly add half of the chicken pieces in a single layer. Return the pan to high heat and cook, stirring from time to time, until the chicken is fully cooked, 3 to 5 minutes. Drain and repeat with the remaining oil and chicken.
- In the same skillet, stir in the remaining garlic, radishes, radish greens and peppers and season with salt. Mix so the radish greens wilt. Stir in the peanut sauce and simmer for an additional minute. Taste for seasoning. Stir in the peas and the chicken. Turn off the heat and let rest a couple of minutes on the stove. Top with a few grates of lime zest and the juice.

CHICKEN STIR-FRY WITH VEGETABLES AND PEANUTS
You can use pork tenderloin cut into strips, in place of chicken for this recipe. The oyster sauce is optional but I add it in to mostly all of my stir-frys for added taste, if you have some add in a couple of tablespoons towards the end it will really "perk" up stir-fry dish!. We prefer our veggies crisp, if you like a softer texture, then you can steam the veggies first if you wish before stir-frying them. Serve the is cooked rice.

STIR-FRIED CHICKEN WITH PEANUTS
Serve this home-style version of kung pao chicken and peanuts with a side of steamed white rice. If you're feeding a large crowd, stir-fry an additional batch instead of making one large serving at once; overcrowding the pan won't allow the ingredients to cook properly.From the book "Mad Hungry," by Lucinda Scala Quinn (Artisan Books).

CHICKEN STIR-FRY WITH SPICY PEANUT SAUCE
If you like spicy peanut sauce, you'll like this dish. The sauce is smooth and creamy with a bit of kick. When stir-frying, I like to marinate the meat to add a bit more depth of flavor. I used chicken for this recipe but am sure it would also go well with pork or shrimp (of course taking into account varying cooking times of different meats).

Tips:
- Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and equipment ready to go. This will help you stay organized and prevent any scrambling later on.
- Use a wok or large skillet: A wok or large skillet is ideal for stir-frying because it allows you to cook the chicken and greens quickly and evenly. If you don't have a wok or large skillet, you can use a regular skillet, but you may need to cook the chicken and greens in batches.
- Use high heat: Stir-frying is a high-heat cooking method, so make sure your wok or skillet is nice and hot before you add the chicken and greens. This will help to sear the chicken and prevent it from sticking to the pan.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When you're stir-frying, it's important not to overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the chicken and greens from cooking evenly. If you need to cook the chicken and greens in batches, be sure to let the pan cool down slightly before adding the next batch.
- Stir constantly: Stir-frying is a quick cooking method, so it's important to stir the chicken and greens constantly. This will help to prevent them from burning.
- Use a variety of vegetables: Feel free to use any type of vegetables you like in this recipe. Some good options include broccoli, carrots, snow peas, and bell peppers.
- Adjust the seasonings to your taste: This recipe is fairly mild, but you can adjust the seasonings to your taste. If you like things spicy, add more chili peppers or Sriracha sauce. If you prefer a sweeter stir-fry, add a little bit of honey or brown sugar.
Conclusion:
This spicy stir-fried chicken and greens with peanuts is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a quick and healthy weeknight meal. The chicken is tender and juicy, the greens are crisp and flavorful, and the peanuts add a nice crunchy texture. The dish is also packed with flavor, thanks to the spicy chili peppers and flavorful ginger. If you're looking for a new stir-fry recipe to try, this one is definitely worth checking out.
